Book Synopsis The Seigneurial System in Early Canada by : Cole Harris
Book excerpt: With its long thin fields and straggling rows of farmhouses stretching along either bank of the St Lawrence river for two hundred miles and more, the landscape of rural Canada toward the end of the French regime presented a distinctive charm and drew later writers to construct idyllic portraits of the social and legal system which, they believed, had shaped it.
